This differs from what I found documented for that area code - I thought someone from the region might add to the discussion.  Not sure if this reflected a premium service etc.  (But someone jumped in with an explanation)

I never mentioned the 972 area code. It’s a country code - and as others have said it’s been mapped to a Palestinian mobile network. I’ve added this to my  bar list - I’ve seen quite a lot of toll fraud to Palestine (and the middle east in general in recent months). If you’re referring to country code, then the 0 of the local number is dropped when dialled internationally, see:
